I just added a 45GB drive to my FreeBSD box, it's an old 75mhz Pentium on a Intel motherboard that can't handle drives over 8gb.
So the BIOS reported some wierd numbers and when I made the partition in FreeBSD, it just said "The BIOS reports some f****d up numbers, do you want to use mine instead(Y/N)"(ok, not word by word). I made my slices on the drive, got it up and running, added it into/etc/fstab and now I have the drive installed and working even though the Intels site says that you can't add a drive at that size on that board. heh.
And yes, it worked after I booted the machine.
Well maybe it would not work on a OS that depends on what the BIOS reports.
It is such junk anyway.
I can understand why the ISPs won't take it.. 99% of the stuff i have seen there are so stupid.
Ok so people can't help being stupid. but when they start destroying their own playground, just dont rebuild it or open it again.
I my opinion it's the same crowd who would do those attacks, who uses it anyway.(I might be wrong, but it just looks like that)
The only serious use of IRC i have seen, have been on private and closed servers anyway.
Now I like MySQL a lot, I use it myself. But somehow I don't feel my data is so secure that I would use it for Real-time credit card processing.
I see problems in the database from time to time. Not so many lately, MySQL has gotten a lot better, still I would like to have archivelogs and rollback seqmentsnstuff.
How long will it take before you can find a program on astalavista, that replaces the code partition on the harddrive with a text of your own choice. Or maybe rotates it everytime you boot? --------
I don't like that bomb story one bit. "Unarmed" is a frequently used adjective in military press releases describing broken-arrow incidents.
A table beginning on page 65 of SIPRI's 1977 Yearbook presents summary information on 32 such incidents.:-)
I know a program that is vapourware: "Benders Get Rick Quick Tools v1.0"
That is vapourware for sure, because it's my program, and I havent written it yet.
I wish I would, but I am too lazy. ..and I haven't got a clue what it's about
I had a FreeBSD box running Seti at work 24/7. I stopped working there 2 months ago but the box still seems to chew through Seti units. My guess is that they don't know what it is doing but since the label on the box says "server" they leave it alone. Oh well, they would never know how to operate a FreeBSD box anyway.:)
I remember some time ago reading messageboards used to exchange IP's to open proxy servers on the "outside" that they could use to bypass the filters, is that still going on?

To make even more of an impact, Gates called on the incredibly popular WWF wrestler, The Rock to help him unveil the uber-machine. Now call me a troll if you must, but why did this make me line laugh so much.:-)
The Rock: I will pummel you Gates!! Gates: No wait, we are presenting my new machine. The Rock:Oh yeah, you're right. Well buy this box kids, you know Gates kicks ass. We are the new tag team ready to take on everybody. grr Gates: Yes we are really cool dudes, I am really in to that WWWF(v4.0) think too. The Rock: Let's get in the ring, put on your tights, Gates, grr
Now this is a nice hack, the one that you would do just just to see if you could. And when someone came up to you and asked why, you would say,"I wanted to see if I could". You would not need any reason for doing it other then the fun of it. And people wouldn't understand.
I remember when I had time to do such things, that was fun times, but now there's too much work in the real world.
I guess I have become one of those who asks,"That's great, but does it do? What do you plan to use this for?"
Why does a satellite costs as much as it does. You can build a device with the same functionality for less.
The problems is that it is a lot harder to replace a part that breaks down. That's why you don't want to use a Mac(or other end(l)user hardware). If a Mac or a PC for that matter was built with the same requirements for the MTBF as a satellite the price of the hardware would skyrocket(pun intended). The test required for each circut and chip would make it impossible to sell today.
So go ahead and launch your Mac into space, just don't me to go and fix it. well maybe I would like to but who's gonna pay.

That is, there is a one-in-10,000 chance of anybody being hurt on the ground by a falling ing Iridium spacecraft, he told SPACE.com.

Or they could be,
1) Counting the most popular links to provide you with a list over the most popular links.
2) Counting clicks on links to provide you with a "People who search for aaaa, often goes to bbbbb"
I make websites too and I want to track as much as possible from the users, including where they go. because I want to find out what the visitors want and then focus on that. And when it comes to clicking on external links I often use it to provide popular-links-lists so if you are bored and don't know where to go, you can see where everyone else are going and get an idea about where to surf.
It might not be a bad thing.
And the thing about them making money on the website:"There's no such thing as a free lunch".
If they can't make money, there's no site in the long run, it is as simple as that.
I agree with you Mr. the Blade. That's why I think that we should start taxing blank audio cassettes. And minidiscs. And video cassettes.
Oh, we(in Denmark) has special taxes on all that and DAT tapes too(unless you buy them as a data tape in a computerstore instead of a audio tape in a radio store). --------
In Denmark we are getting a tax on blank CD's, that will be introduced in steps over the next half year, that will double the price on blank cd's(unless you buy the fancy cds, then it's about 50% increase in the price).
The tax is not a percentage but a fixed amount about 0.4$ pr cd. The first step, about 0.1$ starts Dec. 1. --------
